yet another budgie!!!

[lute]

i got another budgie! here's how it all happened...

i was at work today and saw that this one older budgie was beating up on a younger one. i swished my hand around to break it up and i thought nothing of it. i went back to the cage and the older budgie had killed the younger one.:(

when the manager got there, i told him what had happend. he just said "it must have been weak.":eek: :mad: the older one was bugging another young one and he swished his hand around to break it up. a while later right before i was leaving the older one was at it again! this time he was gonna kill!

i told one of the employees and they told me to put it in the back that it must be weak.....there we go with the weakness agian.:rolleyes: the cage it was gonna go in was way too small, and i wasn't about to make the poor bird suffer any more. i scooped it up and brought it home with me.:)

i'm so done with the way my fellow employees care for the animals! just throw them in the back. they will die sooner or later.:mad: i'm gonna have a house full of animals by this time next year!hehe

i will post pics later. i also need help on a name. prefrably a name that can fit boy and girl cause i'm not sure of the sex yet.:D

update!

not sure of the sex, but it doesn't really matter. i gave him/her the name Nipolion. i thought since the store people thought he was so "weak" i'd give him a mighty name.

he's sitting in his cage kinda checkin everything out. Picasso is talkin to him and is very excited to have a fellow budgie in the house. i hope that they can share a cage someday soon.

Congrats on the new addition. I'm a budgie-holic and I have a hen sitting on five eggs right now. She usually has clutches of 9-10 so I'm expecting 9 eggs to hatch. I'm usually fairly good at sexing young budgies. Can you post a pic of him/her?

awh poor thing. Hopefully the old one will get sold soon and no more will die... Maybe try and convince them to get another cage for that one?? Its worth a try. Congrats on the new addition.:)

congrats!!! I hope you can persuade them to put the killer in a seperate cage. Welcome home Napoleon!!

[lute]

thank you all!

i will try to post a pic today or tomarrow. if your good at telling sex of budgies i'll post a pic of Picasso also. i'm not sure what he/she is either.

i told them they should try putting the killer in another cage and of course they don't listen. the bird killed another little blue budgie today.:(

Giselle, don't forget to post pics of the babies when they come!:D

Lemme guess.....Killer is a female?:rolleyes: Those females...*sigh*

Lute, you should try pointing out that bird lost is money lost. I hate for profit to be put first, but I guess that's how things go. Maybe then they'll place Killer in a different cage because you don't want "damaged goods".

Please post pics of the budgies. I love ID'ing young budgies ;) It gives me extra practice. And Of course! Pictures of my chicks will be posted everywhere once they hatch!:p

not sure if the killer is female or not.

there is another sick blue parakeet in the back of the store. i really want to bring it home too, but i can't bring two home in less then 3 days. poor Lucy is having a tough time sharing the love.:rolleyes:
i put the two keets in the same cage today. i had their cages right next to each other and they were trying to preen eachother through the bars. they are getting along great.
out of the 4 budgies i've ever had Nepoleon is the easiest to tame. she/he likes to be held!:eek:

i took some pics and i'll post them this eavening
